Nov 2013 pinkie Got a package from Richard with a Kern River Citra. Plus a couple I hadn’t heard of. Thanks Richard. Was really nice of him to send me this great beer.
Nov 2013 bytemesis OK, so the last time we met (in the Spring), I mentioned how much I was dying to try Citra and Richard said that he would drop me a bottle when it was released again.

Amazing generosity, amazing trader, amazing guy!
